Re: Grateful Dead Download Series Revisted |
One of the reasons I didn't pick any of the early ones, is , and this seems to be mostly the case here, is that the shows they chose to put out as downloads, are mostly in the "OK" category . There have been 2 DPs for 76 , that get fall shows, and the New Year's vault release , but this is the only show they have put out from that interesting first tour back from their break . I agree they could have chosen a better show from that tour . It almost seems the stuff they decided to put out as downloads, were things that they don't think worthy of release on c.d. . Lets hope that means some of those better shows (6/28 for sure !) will see some sort of release .
I almost picked that 10/26/71 show . Put that together with the DP, 2 and you have a nice "October 71" set .

"It almost seems the stuff they decided to put out as downloads, were things that they don't think worthy of release on c.d."
I had the same impression. Might not be true of the '80s selections, but for the picks up to '77, it does seem like these shows were picked just for 'rarity' value (the circulating sources were incomplete or had poor sound), but were not up to being 'Dick's Picks'-grade.
It doesn't matter much now, since they discontinued the series long ago!
And I should add, an "OK" show from '72/73 is still pretty good stuff.

Even though 72/73 has been pretty well covered with releases , I still welcome more ! Sure wish they would do more with that Acadmey of Music run in early 72 , for example .

Re: Grateful Dead Download Series Revisited |
Wouldn’t it be sweet if the download series was continued and greatly expanded even.
Whatever the quality of uncirculated shows in the vault may be, we want to hear them!

Re: Grateful Dead Download Series Revisited |
You can still get some of these at Nugs.net. It's a pain in the ass trying to sign in. Then try to find the link, where you must open an account. I hate all of this e-mail and password shit. Livedownloads.com is a crappy website that could use a major overhaul.
http://www.nugs.net/Grateful_Dead.htmAMAZON.com has some of these downloads in MP-3 format only. They don't even mention if those are the 128 KBS or 256 KBS files. Why are we stuck dealing with such MORONS?

Re: Grateful Dead Download Series Revisited |
The entire series is (I believe) available for streaming on Spotify - along with Dick's Picks, and an overall pretty good selection of GD stuff.
